A standard six-sided die is rolled 6 times. You are told that among the rolls, there was one 1, 2 two's, and 3 three's. How many possible sequences of rolls could there have been? (For example, 1,2,3,3,2,3 is one possible sequence.)

This is equivalent  to  finding  out  how many identifiable sequences can be  made  from  1,2,2,3,3,3

 

This is given  by

 

              Number  of  values !

_______________________________________       =  

(Repeated values of 2) ! (Repeated values of 3)! 

 

 

 6!                   720              720

_____   =      _____  =     _____  =      60   identifiable  sequences

2! 3!                2 * 6             12
